While Acura impresses with its exterior design, the interior falls short, appearing disappointingly cheap, more akin to a budget Chevy offering. As a devoted Acura and Honda enthusiast, I struggle to justify a $70,000 price tag for such quality. In contrast, the Cadillac Lyric exudes a sense of value and luxury that aligns better with its cost. Personally, I would opt for the Cadillac in this scenario. Thumbs down 👎!!!!
The other observation about the cost of building one: The chassis, body, and the interior bits and pieces are the same. They can be used on a gas powered or electrically powered car. An electric motor is not more exorbitant to build than a piston motor.....so this all comes down to the battery. Right?
I like Acura although I feel like they def could’ve done better with the ZDX, it’s not a bad car for sure and it’s a good start but I know they will make better EVs that are more competitive in the future
@@termainefields3342 yea with half the range and even worse than that if you live north not to mention the insurance cost on electric cars are ridiculous most importantly reliability is very questionable
An EV future requires a free and voluntary choice to get buy it, a battery that weighs less, a battery that charges in the same time it takes to fill a tank, a battery that is not as affected by temperature, and a battery that costs significantly less.
Why would Acura team up with a reductive automaker such as GM? Sorry, it is a down grade. I would never buy a GM product again...absolute garbage. I would not even buy a Cadillac or Corvette...they just don't match Japanese engineering. Acura...please STOP sullying your brand image by joining forces with GM SMH.
Using hand control for regen is interesting, but one more part to wear out. Based on number of badges on back of car their philosophy is opposite of Tesla’s “the best part is no part” mantra
Why didn’t they make it so that the trunk mat folds? Accessing the subtrunk looks super inconvenient. I’m really disappointed that Honda is using a GM car. I would’ve bought it over a Tesla if it wasn’t based on a GM car.
If you release the acceleration pedal does it stop slowly like the tesla? Is there an option there that continue rolling the car if you release the acceleration pedal?
After hearing the comment about it looking like a hearse, I can't unsee it.
3:35 look at this gap !!! 😂😂 welcome to chevy quality Acura

It was bad enough for the Honda to use a GM interior and parts, this is a complete joke for them to do this with Acura.
That’s a nice looking 70k baby shoe.
Chevrolet ZDX

It’s a Chevy Traverse, that identifies as an Acura ZDX….🤔🤨🤦🏽♂️💯💯💯

Ripoff GM
@@lordwes7362 agreed fully, I would much rather get a Tesla Model S or BMW i4 M50, Rivian R1S and R1T are very compelling choices too
Looking at it, I would guess it would be worth more like $55k. For 70k might as well go for Acura MDX type S
Yea the max blows this zdx out the water
The new 2025 Acura MDX cost the same. The ZDX is electric and has way more horsepower.

I will smoke your MDX.
Acura built a good looking car
GM built
looks decent, but definitely can tell it was made partially by GM.
To toggle between one pedal drive modes (off, normal, max) there’s a shortcut button in the upper left corner of the touchscreen.

I like it when you say (duddo dooo).
I think it will better to add (scoooopy doooo) after those words!😉👍🏻😂

What the heck is remote start starting? A fan? Drop a V8 in it and chop the price $20,000 and I'm interested.
as soon as he pulled the key out I said Nah…
Do the brake lights come on when using the Regen paddle? I'd hate to incite getting rear ended.

Is there an option there that continue rolling the car if you release the acceleration pedal?
Can't speak for the ZDX, but most electric cars have this option, even Hyundai.
Platinum Nissan Ariya is way more Lux than this boring derivative oatmeal hard pass
good point
70k for a baby Acura 🤯
2024 Acura Electrified ZDX A-Spec!
Anything that brings down Elon musk is a good idea…
hi
Nice car, but no one will buy any of it.
I have one. You just can't afford one.
Terrible review.
